tradition

Every year on the last Saturday in June, since I can't remember when, we make a family day of attending the City of Murrieta Birthday party. This is an excellent day filled with fun. There are a million fun jumpy inflatable thingies for the kids to jump on. The majority of them have some sort of water since it is blazing hot. These days the kids are too cool to do any of that.....there must be little children to tempt them to be silly and make fools of themselves. This year was the first time we went kidless - weird. No sunscreen, piles of blankets, bags of snacks, umbrellas for shade, endless drinks. Just us. Two chairs. One blanket. Picinic basket. :)

silly kids....

more silliness....

Early evening the fun starts.....some sort of band, couldn't tell you who, just that they weren't great. Then on to the main act. I seriously had issues with the name of their band. I could not remember it no matter what. Mike found this extremely funny. I still want to call them WINGS (but I know that is wrong) or FAITH (wrong again) but they were LIGHTS! Covered all Journey songs for almost two hours. FANTASTIC!
